Raster data can be imported and manipulated using the following steps:
1. Import raster data.
|
1. Import raster data files.
|
- Load raster data from local computer files using the File | Open... command.
- Alternatively, drag and drop the file into the Graphics Window in GMS.
|
|
3. Manipulate raster data.
|
3. Merge mulitple rasters.
|
- Select two or more raster items in the Project Explorer by holding down the Shift key while selecting each item.
- Right-click on one of the selected objects and select Convert To | Merged Raster.
- Save a file with the merged data.
|
|
4. Convert raster data.
|
1. Convert raster data to feature contours.
|
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Convert To | Feature Contours command to create a new map coverage with elevation contours.
|
3. Convert raster data to 2D scatter set.
|
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Convert To | 2D Scatter command.
- In the Raster → Scatter dialog, give the scatter set a name and click OK to generate the scatter set.
|
4. Convert image data to 2D grid.
|
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Convert To | 2D Grid command.
|
5. Convert image data to UGrid.
|
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Convert To | UGrid command.
- Select conversion option in the UGrid Points Vs. Cells dialog.
|
|
5. Interpolate raster data.
|
1. Interpolate raster data to active coverage.
|
- Select and make active the map coverage where the raster data is to be interpolated.
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Interpolate | Active Coverage command.
|
2. Interpolate raster data to TIN.
|
- Select and make active the TIN where the raster data is to be interpolated.
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Interpolate | TIN command.
|
3. Interpolate raster data to 2D Mesh.
|
- Select and make active the 2D mesh where the raster data is to be interpolated.
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Interpolate | 2D Mesh command.
|
4. Interpolate raster data to a 2D scatter set.
|
- Select and make active the 2D scatter set where the raster data is to be interpolated.
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Interpolate | 2D Scatter command.
|
5. Interpolate raster data to 2D grid.
|
- Select and make active the 2D grid where the raster data is to be interpolated.
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Interpolate To | 2D Grid command.
|
6. Interpolate raster data to 3D Mesh.
|
- Select and make active the 3D mesh where the raster data is to be interpolated.
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Interpolate | 3D Mesh command.
|
7. Interpolate raster data to a 3D scatter set.
|
- Select and make active the 3D scatter set where the raster data is to be interpolated.
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Interpolate | 3D Scatter command.
|
8. Interpolate raster data to 3D grid.
|
- Select and make active the 3D grid where the raster data is to be interpolated.
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Interpolate To | 3D Grid command.
|
9. Interpolate raster data to UGrid.
|
- Select and make active the UGrid where the raster data is to be interpolated.
- Right-click on the raster image and select the Interpolate | UGrid command.
